Youth interested in qualifying for Wisconsin’s 2019 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships Team will compete in Competitive Shoots across the state in 2018. Scores from these competitive shoots will be used to determine who will represent Wisconsin on the 2019 National Championships Team.

A summary of scores required to qualify for national and the location of the various 4-H Shooting Sports events across Wisconsin in 2018 can be found at WI Qualifying Requirements for the 4-H National Championships. Tournament rules and and registration forms for competitive shooting sports events scheduled to date are posted at the 2018 Competitive Shoots page.

How to Apply Those who participated in 4-H competitive shoots during 2017 and met the qualification requirements should receive in December a notice to apply.

Once the deadline date for second round applications is reached, any remaining team openings are filled on a first come basis by those submitting an application. These applicants must be competitive in their shooting skills to make a team. Once teams are set you will be notified via email regarding how to complete your national registration and pay the national fee.
